To live was to enjoy – when every faculty was in its perfection, amidst abundance of objects which infinite wisdom had purposely suited to it… when he was at full liberty to enjoy either the Creator or the creation – to indulge in rivers of pleasure, ever new, ever pure, from any mixture of pain.” John Wesley

Die Geestelike Dissiplines: Hoe verander God lewens (11)

Dallas Willard, Professor aan die University of Southern Califonia se School of Philosophy en leraar in die Southern Baptist Church, het ‘n belangrike boek geskryf: The Spirit of the Disciplines. [Hy is onlangs oorlede.] Ek gaan baie op hierdie boek staatmaak in hierdie reeks oor geestelike dissiplines.

Kom ons kyk na daardie aktiwiteite wat algemeen deur Christus se dissipels deur die eeue gebruik is. Ons kan die lys in twee afdelings verdeel:

 

  1. I.Dissiplines van onthouding:
  • Afsondering
  • Stilte
  • Vas
  • Spaarsaamheid
  • Kuisheid
  • Opoffering
  1. II.Dissiplines van betrokkenheid
  • Studie
  • Aanbidding
  • Feesviering
  • Diens
  • Gebed
  • Gemeenskap
  • Onderwerping
  • Belydenis

 

Volgende keer begin ons met die dissiplines van onthouding.
